Exotek B6 upper steering brace & Flite top shaft vUSA

Coming from Exotek are new option parts for the Team Associated B6 series of 2WD buggies. First up is the upper steering brace and sleeve set. The kit strengthens the steering assembly from bending at the mounting screws as well as provides support to keep the steering crank bearings from binding and breaking thanks to the included crush sleeve set. The brace is shaped to fit into the pocketed area of the upper plate and keeps the steering from bending or flexing at the bearing screws. At only 1.2g for all three parts the set hardly adds any weight to the front end of the vehicle.

RPM B6 series flat front A-arms

Coming from RPM and made for the Team Associated B6 series of 2WD buggies are the flat front A-arms. The wishbones offer a much tighter fit of the hinge pins which results in a more precise front end while in-line retaining screws for the outer hinge pins and ditched inside retaining screws for shoulders in the hinge pin holes result in a weight reduction of 1.75g per A-arm. The arms come as pair and they are made to replace the AE #91671 arms.

RDRP B64 brass suspension mounts

The new Revolution Design Racing Products brass suspension mounts for the Team Associated B64 series of buggies are direct replacement for the kit’s lightweight parts. They add valuable weight especially when running in high-traction conditions or when the track is getting bumpier. Machined from black-coated brass and sporting gold-colour chamfered edges the parts weigh in at 14g for the A LRC mount, 13g for the B LRC mount, 14g for the C mount and 15g for the D mount, which shifts the weight bias further to the front or rear of the buggy, depending on the location of the brass hangers. Using the front A and B brass mounts will result in an easier to drive buggy while the rear C and D mounts add traction out of and rotation into corners. Using the brass suspension mounts all-round will add valuable weight when running on very bumpy and/or grippy tracks. All mounts were designed to work with the original #92014 arm mount inserts and they are best used in pairs at the front or the rear.
